For A Beautiful Musician
We sat under the moon and the stars
when inspiration to move struck
grace found us in tandem
symphony in full effect
Crescendo lead to staccato
Hug lead to kiss
Smoke lead to fire
It felt like all worries had been washed away
I felt cleansed as you spun around
as light as a feather my feet felt
oblivious to the plight of others
But being indifferent to the fate of others
still can't preserve the scene
for the moon must give way to it's brother
the sun must present it's case
We did try to replicate the magic with the rays felt
too many distractions in what we could see
these things that are a wonder in the light of night
give breath to the corridors of mystery
Finally if someone asked us about our behavior
my response would be true to fact
we danced as lovers of motion
and because nobody asked us to play!

Not too worried about how many people read it...the process of creation beats the thrill of others reading in my book.

Thanks---the title may be a bit redundant. Generally speaking anyone who makes music has to have some amount of beauty.

Thanks. This was originally inspired by Jackson Browne's "For A Dancer. When I started writing I realized I was not only drifting away from the song but that in terms of his tunes, that one wouldn't make my top ten.

Thank you for reading; you alerted me to a typo! (preserved should be preserve)
I have heard people argue about the proper gender of the moon and sun. Some argue the moon is female while the sun must be male. For me "genderizing" the two misses their beauty...
Thanks for the kind remarks.

Thanks. I actually took the last line from Paul McCartney. I can't do anything original it seems. :)

That you would bring up that moniker, "Lyrical Gangster" brought a great big smile to my face. What ever happen to Ini Kamoze? One hit wonder?
